I can see that, but I still think it works fine. Although you could easily swap out what is in the top right and put it below the header instead of the two separate boxes. that's where most people look first when visiting a web page. That being said you'd have to find something to put there in its place.

Thanks for the feedback! I think it isn't *that* active in the banner, once you see what's actually happening there. We did it mainly for convenience for the user... if they want to see the latest articles in each category, all they need to do is mouse over that category, and they'll see the latest. The fading banner is simply just articles we made "featured".
We're still working on stuff, obviously, since it's only the first few days of being online. We'll eventually work out all the kinks. Thanks again for the feedback.

Maybe a full archive view of the site for the people who don't like a magazine-ish site (like me) would be nice, making a choice of a blog-like view and a real site view.

Like this?

Like that. You should put the archives link on the top bar.

I actually saw that and thought I did an edit, but apparently it didn't go through .Oh well...

I like the site, I may have to start visiting it every now and then.

I recommend visiting it daily. :P

Not hourly?

That would be even better!

If I had the time, I'd visit the site every minute, if only because I think anyone who puts the Silencer in his avatar is probably cool
But it's really quite a nicely done site. I'm actually thinking of doing something like that, though not so much for gaming. Mind if I hijack this thread a bit and ask you a few questions?

Go right ahead! :D

Thanks. I was just wondering, what tools do you use for web designing? It's been a long time, but I remember I used to use Dreamweaver, and I didn't really like it that much because, even though it was newbie friendly, it was quite limited in function
Also, how did you start off with getting people to notice your site?

Our backend is powered by WordPress, we used old-fashioned HTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript, and used a separate domain for testing. I used a little bit of DreamWeaver, but mainly just manually using text editors.
How we got people to notice our site? Well, I was fortunate enough to already be an established poster in the PC Gamer community, and I was the person that sent in the most questions to the PC Gamer Podcast (probably still hold that record). I'm big friends with the editors of that magazine, and another (Maximum PC). I was doing a podcast of my own by that time, the PC Gamer Fan Podcast, which was regularly downloaded by a lot of people. By the time the old PC Gamer boards were removed, I made Game Central, and many of the old posters migrated to the forums.
A large majority of our posters were people I met playing TF2 in the PC Gamer server.
How we got the word out to other places? Well, we're just starting that right now. I've been posting the links in several message boards, such as this one. We're gonna start Digging our best articles, and hopefully nab an exclusive story.
Having a weekly PC gaming podcasts also helps a bunch... there's hardly any regularly released PC gaming podcasts, with a laid-back-style. Which is what a lot of people want.
I guess I'm just lucky.

Nice, so it seems that you've already had a foundation to build it upon?
